Slipways is a streamlined space strategy and puzzle game that focuses on building sprawling interplanetary trade networks instead of combat. You start with a handful of planets and technologies and expand by colonizing new worlds, connecting them with slipways, and balancing production and demand to grow a prosperous galactic economy. Unlike traditional 4X and grand strategy titles with heavy micromanagement, Slipways simplifies mechanics so that every decision matters immediately, letting you complete a full run in about 40–60 minutes while still offering deep strategic choices.
Gameplay blends elements of puzzle logic and empire building: choose which planets to colonize, plan optimal connections, and research powerful technologies that can reshape your approach to the galaxy. There’s no war—success comes from smart economics and efficient design. Procedurally generated galaxies and randomized tech trees keep each session fresh, and multiple game modes including campaign, sandbox, and ranked runs add replay value. With over 80 technologies to discover and five alien races offering unique bonuses, Slipways rewards creative thinking and careful planning.
